Didnt you get a new exhaust recently? Might have not been fitted on fully sealed up. Small gap might be allowing fluids building up in the exhaust to settle after use and drip out. Had the same thing on my last bike. Did nothing but cause a mess. I suspect its nothing bad because my bike had the same thing in the same place too. Hope that helps

Add another adult to the list. I love cadbury's world. Never miss a chance to go since I went at the jolly age of 10. Not too far from me either.

I see more resemblance in the suzukis. Not just looking at the front of the bike im looking at the whole overall shape and I can see more the same than on the others.

Nope dont see any reason to do so. I will get a drivers liscense simply because id like to have one if i ever need it, but i dont think i see myself buying a car. Hardcore bikers dont get cars Hardcore bikers die before they hit 40. Whereas if you have a car for the rainy days and the risky stuff you can get the best of both worlds. I'm not a fair weather rider because I will ride in the rain though I don't trust some routes nearby to me.

CBF 125. Was a nice bike to sit on at the NEC and its the inbetweener of the CG and the CBRR. Also could probably tune it to about 20 horse power and its a good size so I would have it.

Not without stepping down to 4-stroke I'm afraid...the mito is the most unreliable of the 2-strokes as it has to rev more to get that same power as its equivalents. It was never designed with reliability in mind. The latest RS125 has a new Rotax engine which is supposed to be reliable, the first thing I noticed with mine is it sounds deeper and makes more torque...definately a complete overhaul so I would look into it...If you want 2-stroke that is..

I agree, but for motorways they arent too good as you have to rev the nuts off them to get them to go 70 though stick it in the left lane at 60 and it will be all right. If motorways are involved you would either bore out the 4-stroke so you got more power and could fit bigger sprockets or get the RS125 which mine holds 70mph at 6500rpm. It has the most torque so when tuned and given a better set of sprockets it aint half bad on the motorway.

If you got 4-stroke it has to be the Sachs. It is the most powerful of the 4-strokes because the company used to make bikes using suzuki engines and then tuning them to get some extra power. Have a look at the Rieju RS2 matrix....Thats a 4-stroke 125 but it sounds nice and goes much faster than a cbr and is as fast as the sachs. I heard from someone that his could hit 85mph so its definately one to look at. The engine it uses is a yamaha so don't be put off by the spanish manufacturing side to it...

Buy from the factory the RS125 has 33HP and goes alot faster than the rest...Its the best now because the new one has been given a new 2-stroke rotax engine which is far more reliable...Causes it to cost alot more but it will outdo all the others easy... In a race with a Cagiva mito the RS out accelerates and gets to top speed quicker...I had one not so long ago...

Change of heart...Get a Triumph Daytona 675. Better than all those and its a sport bike. Sporties rule

Has a point...

Hi all, I bought a powervalve recently with all of the kit including the E.C.U for it and I was told like on the last model that there would be a connector for it to hook up to it...I went in the tail section of the bike where it is meant to be and there was no such connector. Confused I rung the Aprilia dealer I bought it from and he said that it would be in there and was just as baffled as I was. I had heard that some models of the RS couldn't have them fitted though but I have just ignored that as the RS is designed for the use of a power valve. Any help, have I missed the connector, is it somewhere else on the bike. I had the old RS and it never had this problem and I REALLY want 33 horse power and power across the revs.

At the moment I'm only a fair weather biker as the bike hates the wet. Some handle it well but not this one it seems. I used to use a bike for full transport then 2 months after turning 17 I had a car lisence which is when I decided to turn into a fair weather rider.

I have to disagree. The kawasaki looks MAZING, its more sporty which is probably why I love the look of it. The shiver is probably heavier. This is aprilia. Their bigger bikes tend to weigh a million tonnes more than its rivals.

Maybe you should buy both That would be incredibly cooooool. I can only dream of doing something like that.

Either that or you could ride both and decide which one you like better. Personally I think the Aprilia will be more reliable but the kawasaki will be more fun. I personally love the kawasaki though I have to say the Aprilia would be the one I'd go for.

You have a good bike now!!! Where in England do you live?

I only ride a small stroker so long distance every day will kill the engine and I cant be assed affording the cost of an engine rebuild because I cant help but wind on the power. It all depends on the size of bike you ride. If its a big sporty people tend to use them for fun and if its a street bike then more people tend to use them for everything. I could never use a bike for everything. Would take away the fun of the ride. I like to wait untill I have the roads to myself and the weather is nice before riding. That way biking remains as special to me as it was when I got on the road with my first ever bike.

Oh haaa haaa. I aint kissing ass. I love Kawasakis especially the zx7r (when they made it) and the 750 cyberwolf rides. Something about 700-800cc. Its like the perfect gap between the nippy 600's and the monster 1000's.

You mocking my RS125 Boy em no when i say tinbox i mean car but your mates are right about the rs125 and who the feck are you calling boy, you big girls blouse I would argue but you ride one of my favourite bikes.

Well there are two types of bikers. 1) Those that love the little strokers 2) Those that....well dont My mates are in the second category. They think a CBR125 is the best because it wont blow up when they rag it. They dont say anything under the belt because they know i'll take some things personally....

You mocking my RS125 Boy only if thats the name of your car I always assume its my bike people mock. It always is. Its been called a range of things. According to my mates it.... 1) Is powered by harnessed squirells 2) Is witchcraft because it chucks out blue smoke 3) Sounds like a lunch box being rattled about when it idles 4) Plots against you timing its engine blowing on you 5) Will only reach the claimed 120mph if you chuck it off a cliff

You mocking my RS125 Boy

You finish work in the Morning?! Lucky sod, i wish I could do that. Or are you up alllll night.

Jeremy Clarkson did it in 10 minutes using a crappy diesel!! What car did you use to get 203mph??
